ST. PAUL – Stakeholders are waiting for judges’ rulings in two high-profile election cases in Minnesota after last week’s developments.
the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that Mille Lacs County District Judge Matthew Quinn overstepped his authority when he told convicted felons at sentencing that they couldn’t vote until they finished probation, Quinn at the same time declared Minnesota’s new felon voting law unconstitutional which the higher court overruled.
But there’s a separate case challenging the constitutionality of Minnesota’s new felon voting law which an Anoka County judge has under advisement, and Election Day is Tuesday in a number of Minnesota municipalities and school districts.
The Minnesota Supreme Court is also considering a request to keep former President Donald Trump off the Minnesota ballot in 2024.
